???? In a rapidly evolving world, artificial intelligence (#AI) presents both incredible opportunities and significant risks. As highlighted in an insightful piece by Nicolas de Rivière in Devex, AI's potential to drive innovation and progress in global development must be harnessed in an inclusive, equitable way. The upcoming Summit for AI Action in Paris will focus on ensuring that AI serves the global community — not just the privileged few. Key themes include: ?? AI as a global public good, accessible to all while respecting fundamental rights. ?? The need for governance frameworks that prioritize equity and avoid deepening global inequalities. ?? The intersection of AI and sustainability, including its role in addressing the climate crisis and promoting inclusive economic growth. AI offers immense promise, from enhancing healthcare to sustainable development. But without careful governance and collaboration, it could deepen existing inequities. ?? As we look to the future, how can we ensure AI benefits all communities and contributes to sustainable global development? ??
